Interview With Iranian Foreign Minister 'We Are Prepared for Everything'
SPIEGEL: Anyone reading the latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report can't help but wonder how long it will be until Iran completes its first nuclear bomb.

Salehi: Our revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a fatwa, a ruling according to religious law, describing nuclear weapons as un-Islamic. They are "haram," forbidden, which means these weapons of mass destruction play no role in our defense strategy. That's the truth, and anything else is propaganda.

SPIEGEL: Evidence indicating a secret nuclear program is overwhelming. The IAEA report includes a 12-page appendix laying out substantial evidence that makes it impossible to draw any other conclusion: Iran wants the bomb.

Salehi: That allegation is unfair and unjustified. The report seems to be interpreting many things, which is dangerous. The IAEA risks its credibility by making such interpretations.

3. Or if you believe anything said against Iran by our corrupt politicians in Washington DC.
The most important fact is Iran hasn't attacked any nation since before the US was founded. How many nations have the US attacked in that time?: dozens.

I'd trust Iran more with nukes the the US. I saw part of the Republican debate, and it was scary. Obama isn't much better.
